The heroes were ambushed by wererats hiding in the shadows and perched on beams above. Volleys of arrows were exchanged until Markis chased them from their hiding places with several spells. Daphne waited above while the leader excaped toward her. She was able to surprise him but found herself in a duel with a highly skilled swordsman. The others arrived just in time to assist.

Moments after defeating the wererats, the heroes were attacked by gargoyles! Daphne was knocked unconscious and Burin was without his favored axe. Again Markis was able to turn the tide by blinding the beasts while Burin grabbed Daphne's rapier. The dwur gained new respect for the tiny blade as he sliced viciously through the disabled gargoyles.

The heroes headed for Southspur to investigate the grisly murders. As they arrived a group of grey skinned humanoids attacked a street stage. The heroes stopped the attack and saved a group of onllokers and the actors.

The group discovered an abandoned warehouse near the stage. After entering through an open window on the second floor the building went pitch black and they were attacked by a powerful grey skinned creature and two others, but successfully fought off the assault.

Entering the neighborhood of Silver Hill, the heroes experienced an odd sensation of vertigo which was immediately followed by the appearance of two monstrous worms in a pool of blue slime in the middle of the street. Daphne and Burin were in immediate danger of being eaten alive when Markis caused both worms to fall unconscious! As the dwur finished the worms off, the creatures vanished into mist then the pool imploded into itself.

The heroes were headed to visit Alein, a paladin of Heironeous, when her shrine was discovered shrouded in an unnatural mist. They reunited with Shard just outside when a scream was heard. A paladin exited the shrine and collapsed. The heroes ran to aid her and slew her two attackers. One had been seen before at a crime scene at a neighborhood bookstore.

The heroes investigated the bookstore, finding it an unnerving place. As they made their way upstairs they were attacked by a pair of cultist who temporarily blinded several in the group. The cultists retreated to the top floor where an eerie mists drifted down the stair. The heroes entered the mist to battle another great worm and the cultists along with their leader. From behind, an abomination stalked them up the stair.

While walking home from a celebratory feast in their honor, the heroes were ambushed by an ogre mage. It was evidently allied with the cult as a cabalist was there to reinforce. An evil cleric was also present. Daphne spotted more assailants retreating into shadows when the ogre mage was killed.

After the baron declared the priests of Pelor outlaws and sealed the gates, he instituted martial law. The town lives now in fear! The heroes went to the temple of Pelor to investigate and found it occupied by the devil they witnessed accompanying the baron. The heroes prevailed in a significant battle.
